Drugs, Alcohol, and Domestic Violence in Memphis reports on a 1995 study of domestic violence in Memphis, Tennessee, that revealed that almost all assailants had used drugs or alcohol during the day of the assault, and two-thirds had used a dangerous combination of cocaine and alcohol. The vast majority of those assaulted were repeat victims of the current assailants. Two-thirds of assailants were on probation or parole at the time of the assault. In addition, a majority of battering incidents involved the assailant's use or display of a weapon, and a number of victims suffered injuries severe enough to require immediate medical attention.
